The paper describes the Leiden Manifesto as providing a ‘solid foundation on which academic libraries can assess the implementation of metrics in their institutions’ and makes the overall recommendation that libraries need to collaborate if they are to successfully face the new challenges of responsible assessments.

“Rather than performing individual analyses or developing in-house solutions that are of limited use libraries should work together and develop modular, broadly applicable services and standards that can be used throughout the library community. Ideally, libraries will increase acceptance of these exercises, educate about strengths of evaluations and weaknesses of “irresponsible” evaluations, and be actively involved in the design and development of proper and responsible systems, data sources, metrics and methods.”
